Now, that may seem like nothing(and it is virtually nothing) but if you are doing alot of volume, it can be good.
I am not sure what the numbers are on single or double optin email, but Im sure it is much better than just email harvesting spam.

1/5 of 1 percent - that would be 1 in 500 conversion ratio for a "dumb" harvested mail list. I don't think so! You might get 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 50,000, maybe.
But I've never tried it. Keep in mind you'd not only have to send the spam from a banana republic, but also move your server there.
That is my biggest problem with people selling email lists - they forget to mention that if you use their product, you loose your server in 48 hours - not just the account you sent your spam from, but the web site mentioned in it too.
